BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2015-04-16 17:00:00 (link to chat)	Who are some deeper high K/9 relievers that could provide value in a holds league? (JT Smooth from Loveboat )	Shawn Kelley, Roberto Osuna, Antonio Bastardo, Zach Duke. (Mike Gianella)
2014-12-18 15:00:00 (link to chat)	In your (very) humble opinion, who's the most improved team so far this offseason? (Gotribe31 from VA)	If the Kemp trade goes through, it's really hard for me not to pick the Padres. They've drastically remade their lineup while hardly affecting the major league roster. Other option would be the White Sox. I love the LaRoche signing and the Samardzija acquisition was a steal in my view. They've still got plenty of holes but they've made impact acquisitions in the bullpen (No, not Zach Duke), 1B/DH, and SP. That's a nice offseason. (Craig Goldstein)
2014-06-26 14:00:00 (link to chat)	If the Brewers do make the move to bring up Jimmy Nelson and move Marco Estrada to the bullpen, they are going to need to clear room in the pen. Who are potential trade partners who could take one of their many pen lefties and what could we expect in return for say Tom Gorzelanny? (BeerTheDeer from Milwaukee)	I'm not sure it's a foregone conclusion that Nelson replaces Estrada in the Brewers' bullpen, but Milwaukee is in a good spot w/ their plethora of lefties. Gorz, Will Smith, and Zach Duke can all handle righties and lefties -- with varying levels of dominance -- so they're not weighing their bullpen down w/ LOOGYs. If the Brewers do end up moving someone like Gorz, though, it would be for a lower-tier prospect or perhaps a utility guy. Nothing exciting. (J.P. Breen)
2010-12-20 13:00:00 (link to chat)	With all of the zip code changes of aces this offseason, everyone has seemingly forgotten that Dan Haren was a huge part of trade talks last season. He went to the Angels and was "ehh." Do you see any of the pitchers who've switched teams struggling in their new role, or just not living up to lofty expectations immediately? This would extend to include the Shaun Marcums of the world, too. (Henchman Holding Wrench from Underground Layer)	Yeah. Zach Duke. Because he stinks. (Eric Seidman)
2010-06-23 19:00:00 (link to chat)	Hi Colin, Do the Bucs have any vets left to trade? Seems like only Mahom, Doumit, or Dotel may get back anything in return? And would they even get back a mid-level prospect? thanks Frank (frank from vegas)	If Zach Duke was pitching better he'd be a useful trade piece, I think, although I don't know if that would make sense for the Pirates. But no, I think they're at a point where most anyone they have that's desirable is desirable to keep for them as well. (Colin Wyers)
2010-06-18 14:00:00 (link to chat)	Does Ryan Doumit of Zach Duke bring any kind of return worth getting excited about? Could both get Martin Perez? (Joe from Altoona)	Zach Duke is the type of guy I see as maybe 4th or 5th prize for an acquiring team. He doesn't have too solid of an established track record to make anyone excited, and most teams have a viable 4th or 5th starter with equal potential or upside. Doumit is interesting, but I cannot see the Rangers giving anything remotely valuable up for him. I don't think Duke+Doumit gets Perez. (Eric Seidman)
2009-07-13 14:00:00 (link to chat)	Why are there 5 relievers on each All-Star team? Also, just like in the NBA we forever get All-Star Jamal Magloire, we now get All-Star Zach Duke and Ryan Franklin. (Jon from DC)	I'd take more. What category of player is better prepared for an All-Star Game than a one-inning pitcher? (Joe Sheehan)
2009-07-09 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Hi John, thanks for the chat. What's changed with Zach Duke? Can we expect him to keep rolling along putting up great numbers for the next couple of years? (Dennis from Monterey Park, CA)	I think he's healthy, for one thing. His elbow bothered him the last few years more than he let on and he's able to throw his curveball without pain again. The curve really sets up the rest of his pitches. I think he's a good mid-rotation starter who will continue to be solid if he stays healthy. (John Perrotto)
2008-01-24 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Do you have any favorite sleeper starting pitchers that you envision making a significant jump from marginal SP #5s to potential front-liners akin to Fausto Carmona last year? (MB from New York, NY)	I have a sneaking suspicion Zach Duke of the Pirates is going to have a good year. He is healthy again and has a history with new pitching coach Jeff Andrews from their days together in the minor leagues. (John Perrotto)
2006-07-14 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Will Zack Duke ever return to his late 2005 form or is he an "excel at first but never again" type prospect? (Dave from Frisco, CA)	If you look at Duke's PECOTA card, you'll note that while the system is modestly bullish on him, it certainly doesn't consider him a sure thing, with such names among his comps as - Sorry, hang on - I confused myself with Nate Silver there for a second. A reminder: My expertise is in stadiums and other off-field stuff, so let's try to stick to those areas. Though it is mighty tempting to spend the entire afternoon laughing and pointing at Wayne Krivsky. (Neil deMause)
